Close the Blinds

Şarkı Sözleri

[Intro] Yeah, close the blinds Leave the noise outside [Verse 1] Everybody marching with a number on their chest Same gray morning, same approved address They say, "Walk in line," like the line knows where to go But the sidewalk keeps bending, and the answers move slow I got a chipped blue mug and a blanket on the chair Silvaanaa by the window, smoke curling through the air We trade the news for records, let the afternoon slide While the world sells panic, we protect our quiet side [Chorus] The world acts stupid, let it trip over its shoes We got a room full of calm and nothing left to prove Pass it around, breathe easy, let the hard day fade If the rules make no sense, we can choose our own way [Verse 2] Boss wants a clean soul with a timecard attached Landlord wants a paycheck, the screen wants a match Every voice says hurry, every headline wants blood So we lower the volume and remember who we was Silvaanaa packs the bowl, laughs, "They can keep the race" I watch the ceiling fan draw circles in the space No medals for obedience, no crown for being tame Just a little human mercy and a break from the game [Chorus] The world acts stupid, let it trip over its shoes We got a room full of calm and nothing left to prove Pass it around, breathe easy, let the hard day fade If the rules make no sense, we can choose our own way [Bridge] We are not saints, we are not lost We count the comfort, not the cost Outside can shout until it's hoarse Inside, we take a gentler course [Verse 3] Tomorrow might knock hard, might ask us to explain Why we missed the marching orders, why we stepped outside the frame Tell it we were busy making peace with what we knew Tell it every crooked system doesn't get to name you The kettle clicks, the room turns gold, the evening settles in Silvaanaa hums a little tune, and I start to grin The world can keep its foolishness, its polished little show We have enough right here to let the whole thing go [Final Chorus] The world acts stupid, let it trip over its shoes We got a room full of calm and nothing left to prove Pass it around, breathe easy, let the hard day fade If the rules make no sense, we can choose our own way [Outro] Close the blinds Keep your peace Let the loud world wait outside
